Cancer can affect people of all ethnicities and genders. It happens when cells grow out of control and stop participating in the healthy functioning of our bodies. This is caused by gene variations that happen over time as our cells divide.
We’ve got lots of checks and balances in the body that help us keep on top of these problem cells and stop them from growing out of control.
However, some people inherit gene variations that affect their body’s ability to manage these uncontrollable cells. For people with these variations, normal healthy living advice is not always enough to manage their risk or prevent cancer.
Even though all cancer is genetic, only some of us are born with a higher chance of developing it.
Eugene’s proactive cancer risk test looks for inherited gene variations that increase your risk of developing some of the most common types of cancer – including breast, ovarian, bowel and prostate cancer.
Some of the genes included on this test —
Breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate cancer and melanoma.
Lynch Syndrome: bowel, ovarian and uterine cancer.
Breast, colorectal, endocrine, ovarian, and prostate cancer.
Your DNA is analysed in a CLIA and CAP certified laboratory for variations in 61 genes associated with some of the most common types of cancer.
Your test results help us understand your genetic risk. Along with your personal and family history they play an important role in developing your personal risk report and action plan.
You do not carry a variation that increases your risk
Most people find out that they do not carry a gene variation that increases their risk of cancer.

Your Eugene care team reviews your genetic test results and your personal & family history to help you understand your lifetime risk of cancer. Based on your results, we also discuss screening and prevention measures that you and your doctor can act on.
These measures can include —
Your Eugene counsellor is there to help you understand your results and feel empowered to make choices that are right for you. They can also connect you to a network of healthcare professionals & community groups to make sure you’re always supported.

Genetic counsellors guide people in making important decisions around how genetics influences their health. They are not doctors, but are genetic specialists that are trained to identify, explore and explain genetic risk. They can help you be practically and emotionally prepared to make empowered choices that feel right for you.
At no additional cost, connect with your Eugene genetic counsellor to discuss your test results. They can help you understand your results, answer any questions and help you learn more about what your results mean for you.
No. Genetics is only one part of the cancer risk puzzle. Having a gene variant in one of the genes included on our test will increase your chance of developing cancer, but not everyone who has a gene variation will get cancer in their lifetime.
There are many other factors that contribute to your risk, including environmental factors like exposure to the sun and lifestyle factors like smoking and exercise. If a gene variant is identified on our test, your results will include information about the specific gene variation you carry and how it influences your cancer risk so you can better understand your lifetime chance of developing that specific type cancer.
In some cases this test could impact your ability to get life or income protection insurance.

Your result will help you and your doctor determine any action strategies for prevention and early detection that might be appropriate for you.

Eugene’s proactive cancer risk test includes a personal clinical report that will have details about your results, that you can share with your doctor. The clinical report is available for you when you receive your results.
You can also speak with a Eugene genetic counsellor at no additional charge. Genetic counsellors can help you understand your results, consider next steps, and discuss how to share information with doctors and family.
From the moment we receive your saliva sample, the turnaround time to get your results are 3 to 6 weeks.
Absolutely! Each test comes with a post test genetic counselling session. Your Eugene genetic counsellors are all trained and have practiced across a number of specialties in addition to carrier screening and together with our consultant geneticists and widespread network of healthcare professionals, we make sure you’re always connected and supported.
As a healthcare company, we comply with the most stringent local and inernational privacy and security regulations. We take incredible care to use technical, process and physical safeguards to secure your personal information and protect it against misuse, loss or alteration.
Finally, Eugene doesn’t share any your data with anyone but you and (with your express permission) your doctor.
Yes. Even if you don’t have a family history you could still have a genetic risk that increases your own risk. Not everyone who carries an increased risk gene variant will develop cancer, so not every family will have a cancer history. So, while gene variations that increase cancer risk are rare, knowing whether or not there’s one in you or your family could be lifesaving.
Your saliva sample is destroyed after 30 days. In unusual cases when testing takes longer than 30 days, the specimen will be retained until the report is delivered.
